Math Problem Statement

For the data set, calculate Σx, Σx^2, and (Σx)^2.

Solution

To solve the problem in the image, we need to find the following values for the data set provided:

  1. x\sum x
  2. x2\sum x^2
  3. (x)2\left(\sum x\right)^2

Given Data Set:

6,1,3,6,1,5,5,0,4-6, -1, -3, 6, 1, 5, -5, 0, 4

1. Calculate x\sum x:

x=6+(1)+(3)+6+1+5+(5)+0+4\sum x = -6 + (-1) + (-3) + 6 + 1 + 5 + (-5) + 0 + 4

Let's calculate it:

x=(613+6+1+55+0+4)=1\sum x = (-6 - 1 - 3 + 6 + 1 + 5 - 5 + 0 + 4) = 1

2. Calculate x2\sum x^2:

x2=(6)2+(1)2+(3)2+62+12+52+(5)2+02+42\sum x^2 = (-6)^2 + (-1)^2 + (-3)^2 + 6^2 + 1^2 + 5^2 + (-5)^2 + 0^2 + 4^2

Let's calculate each term:

x2=36+1+9+36+1+25+25+0+16=149\sum x^2 = 36 + 1 + 9 + 36 + 1 + 25 + 25 + 0 + 16 = 149

3. Calculate (x)2\left(\sum x\right)^2:

(x)2=(1)2=1\left(\sum x\right)^2 = (1)^2 = 1

Results:

  • x=1\sum x = 1
  • x2=149\sum x^2 = 149
  • (x)2=1\left(\sum x\right)^2 = 1

Thus, the correct values are:

  • x=1\sum x = 1
  • x2=149\sum x^2 = 149
  • (x)2=1\left(\sum x\right)^2 = 1

It looks like the error in the image was because the second calculation x2\sum x^2 should be 149149, not 1616.
